Sound Delays on external speaker on MacBook Pro

Minoooza,

Setting up a new administrator account on your Mac will allow you to test to see if the issue only occurs with a specific user account. If needed, this article will walk you through how to set up a new user account: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups .

If the lock at the bottom left is locked , click it to unlock the preference pane.

2. Click the Add button below the list of users.

3. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.

4. Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.

5. Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Enter a password hint to help the user remember their password.

6. Click Create User.

Cheers!

Hey there Minoooza,

Have you checked the sound settings on your Mac since experiencing this issue? If not, follow the steps below for additional guidance:

First, disconnect any cables from the USB, Thunderbolt, or 3.5mm audio ports on your Mac.

From the Apple menu , choose System Preferences.

Click Sound.

Click the Output tab, then select the built-in speakers. If you don’t see built-in speakers as an option in the Output window, contact Apple Support.

If the Output volume slider is set low, move the slider to the right and test again.

If the Mute checkbox is selected, deselect it and test again.

If you still don’t hear any sound, contact Apple Support.

If the internal speakers on your Mac aren't working - Apple Support

Take care!

Are you talking about an initial delay only or a periodic cessation of play during playback?
